Read personal statement because they ask questions from your answers and SDN

What impressed you positively?

They knew me pretty well from my file and they didnt make it awkward if i took a little time to give them a response

What impressed you negatively?

There were 2 people asking questions because one would fire the next question as I finished the other question. And there was no water to moisten your mouth

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just be yourself. Preparing isnt the best thing to do. Being calm is the best advice, focus on breathing so you dont get short of breath and seem nervous.

Make sure you are calm and dress very professional they notice everything. Top button buttoned with tie all the way up.
